How to process a keypress for whole form & all controls 2

[biot023]

Hallo.
Does anyone know a way to set an event for a keypress that would apply to everything on a form? So far, I've always had to write an event handler for every control that can receive focus if I've wanted a certain kep press to trigger something, but I can't help feeling that there must be a more efficient way of coding this.
Only I'm b*ggered if I can find it.
Any & all help gratefully received,
Douglas JL
